Bagel Jackpot

Panera's gives away their bread each evening rather than throwing it in the trash. One of the women at church lives at a place that sometimes has an overabundance of Panera's goodies. The elderly people who live there take all they want, and then the rest eventually goes into the trash. Since she hates to see the waste, she will rescue the bread and bagels before they hit the garbage can, so that those who are struggling financially can benefit. Today there was plenty! I felt greedy taking so much, but this is just a portion of what was there for the taking. Maggie has been begging me to buy bagels for weeks, and now she certainly has bagels!!

Why do I so often question whether God can "give us this day our daily bread"?
